I realised last week that, from today, it’s 100 days exactly until my 40th. Which means that I have been struggling with my weight, on and off, for 20 years (not including all those years when I was a kid). Over half my life. It’s a pretty miserable thought. It’s always been a psychological thing as much as a physical thing for me, a root cause of my anxiety, and I really don’t want to begin the next decade of my life with the same old worries. In the next 100 days I want to try to transform physically, but I want to try to change my brain, too. The only time I’ve come close to beating this thing is when I did the CrossFit Challenge last year with the amazing folks at @crossfitspitfire. That was for TV, and the fact that people were watching definitely helped with the motivation!! So I’m going to share as much of the next 100 days as possible in the hope it might help keep me on track. Today saw me back at CrossFit for the first time in weeks, and sadly for a good chunk of it I was lying on the floor, feeling like I was going to puke or pass out, while everyone else did the actual workout. But hey, we’ve all got to start (again) somewhere!! It really did feel great to be back. Anyway, 99 days now, wish me luck!!
